keep an open mind

Thanks !

the foolishness continues :-)

I don't mean it in a bad way towards you Jay or anyone, but it sounds like
the same argument passed around every fifty years of so about contemporary
science and it's dogmas.

I'm not advocating pesudo science like the energy beams from the pyramids,
or acupuncture or using leeches to purge wounds or the benefits of eating
raw /fermented foods or the benefits of hypnotism. Not even wondering about
the fat fallacies in nutrition, the good uses of LSD to enhance the mind and
the benefits of eating fish tainted with mercury due to our coal burning
generating plants.

It's just so many "truths" have been overturned in my short lifestime, I
hesitate to be all-knowing and decide that NOW we know the facts about flat
earth, quantum physics, light, gravity, ether of Space, etc.

Even a simple thing like floride has been flipped out (so much for
scientific method :-)

One of my favorite reads is "1491", new discoveries of what life was like in
Americas before the invasion. Seems people were quite long lived (similar to
"today") had huge aquaculture and sustainable agriculture with a
never-depleteing rich soil. No cavities (no Crest around). Of course in the
same time period Europeans where living in rat infested cities a fraction of
the size of the mezo americans, dying young as you aptly put and generally
didnt have much of a life.

Read it for some fun some time....

Now about the flat earth :-)

What does all the above have to do with space conquest? Hmm. Perhaps
resurrect the lost knowledge of biological teamwork the mezo americans had
500 years ago for a sustainable eco system. Heavens knows the Scientific
community did a wonderful job of Bio Sphere :-) Maybe the secret to
respecting it is believing it IS from the window of God... heaven knows how
much we respect man made resources :-)
